Bug#742864: Update to jdk8u20-b18
Hi everyone,
I've cloned Emmanuel's repository and worked with it on Wheezy
(amd64). Results so far:
* I've updated the build system to work with the newest upstream
version (jdk8u29-b18). Refreshing the patches was fairly
straightforward, but I'd be great if someone with more knowledge of
OpenJDK internals could review them.
* g++-4.9 was a hardcoded build dependency, but is not available on
stable. I could build the package with g++-4.7 from Wheezy, so I've
changed the dependency to g++ >= 4.7.
* The package builds successfully if (and only if) "nostrip" is set in
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. I haven't done extensive tests yet, but the
result looks good so far. I have not tried building or running
alternative JVMs.
* I filed bug #751873, which was promptly fixed (many thanks to the QA
team!), so we can now use
http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/fakeupstream.cgi to get the latest
upstream sources.
* I've also changed the top directory in the archive created by
debian/orig-tar.sh to match the package name. That avoids some
confusion, because for me the sources initially didn't show up where
they should have.
